Well since you indicated you were running the queue manually once a day, I think it was a reasonable assumption that you hadn't found the part of the manual that tells you how to get Exim to do that for you..... so I pointed you to it. exim -q1d will emulate your manual queue running. What 'should' be done depends on your circumstances - what's your queueing strategy? What's in the queue? At a guess it probably fills up with frozen undeliverable bounces, which don't benefit from a queue run at all. You can run the queue at intervals anything from a minute to many weeks with that option.
